On the other hand, it is conceivable that one could see a year overlap, so that may not work in the long run... ie 2005 SN and 2015 SN.
But regardless, it will not change anything. I am just requesting that the db output being shown on the screen, be done so in numerical order. So a MY 05 car with SN 0027 is before a MY 05 car with SN 2437. If there were two SN cars that had the same SN, they would be next to each other.

I think you sort of missed my point. How do we know that the 27th car in the '06 model year will not also have 0027 for the last four digits, just like your '05 car? And even if they just continue the SN for '06 where they left off in '05, all four-digit combinations will be used up within three or four years, tops.
That is why a chronological sort ought to begin with the model year digit.
